thanks, I like simple

I did a search and was overwhelmed. Is there an android app that will work like my old Tom Tom where I just plug in and address an map with arrows pops up and a nice voice tells me when to turn? I need to run on GPS not a cell signal.

That is good. It seems that on the trail we don't always stabilize our vehicles like we should.

Each jack is a different design and has its advantages. I like the hi-lift because you don't have to get under the vehicle to use it. I have a Jeep with solid axles so I like floor jacks or bottle jacks if I can get it under the axle. We have air bags at work for lifting and they are...

Not sure but the speeds with their 12K winches. We have been talking about are with no weight times. With the Talon 9500lb winch with a load on it is much much slower than the Warn HS. I would suspect the same may be true of their other winches. Both manufactures have a variety of lines. Some...

Where I am at there are plenty of anchor points. It is something to consider before you attempt to go someplace you could get stuck. I usually go out with at least one other person so I will have an anchor point. If did wheel in a place where finding an anchor was difficult then I suppose...

The more winches on the market the better. Competition is good for the consumer. .

mats could be great, I don't have any but I have a winch therefore pulling cable is much easier for me .

If speed is important my Warns line speed is 62 feet per second. If you happy with your winch that is all that matters.

if that's you plan go for it. I would rather pull some cable or get a tug then bust out a shovel or use some mats.

It might be ok. there might be better options

for easy straight pulls and on terrain like that, having a move able set up may be ideal.

it will severely impact your approach or departure angle. A hitch mount is designed for a hitch, rolling weight. I agree with M35A2, it may not provide a strong enough mounting point esp for side pulls.

This is something to think about. I love my jeep but I would rather travel for long periods of time (at freeway speed) in my 4Runner. When it comes to off-road the Jeep would be the choice. My 4Runner wouldn't do nearly as good as my Jeep off road.

Tire pressure and shocks are going to be the biggest issues when it comes to how you jeep rides. As far as the power? Re-gearing is the best way to reclaim power to increased tire size. I have a TJ with a 5 spd so I can't tell how you should gear your jeep but I am running bias ply 34 inch...

I still think they suck for offroading, but good fot the garage.

Many don't understand this. Also it is tested for rolling weight, no dragging or lifting. For a serious recovery point for off roading I would not recommend any hitch. It may be fine but just not the correct equipment for that type of use.

I have been towing a camper that weigh about 2500-3500 lbs empty for years with my 4runner. Mine is an 04 with the V6 and that style hitch that the newer 4Runner has. My 4 runner has been an excellent tow vehicle for trailers in that range. I can get about 14mpg towing, it smooth and in...

This is the hitch receiver the OP has, it only attaches to one small area on a cross bar: This would be a hitch receiver designed to carry a heavier load. It attaches to far more of an area than the one above. This helps to distribute the weight better.

If compared to a Scepter MFC these are a cheap piece of junk and are less than half the thickness. If compared to other less expensive cans they are fine. There are previous were they were compared, people had talked about using them for "overlanding". They are not adequate for that but fine...
